Re: moving files from PC to the IFS in green screen Application

["Steve Landess" <sjl_123@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scott,
If you have NetServer running and have set up shares on the PC's, you can
use the CPY command to copy files directly from the PC to a folder in the
IFS by using the QNTC file system.

Example:

I have a PC named I8KWINXP, with drive D: shared as D_I8KWINXP.
>From the green-screen command line on my AS/400, I just executed this
command:

CPY OBJ('/QNTC/I8KWINXP/D_I8KWINXP/temp/sql.txt') TODIR('/TMP')

and it copied the file SQL.TXT from the D:\TEMP folder to the /TMP folder in
the IFS.

HTH,
